It appears that Battle Creek has lost the ratings war. The low-rated Sunday night police series has been cancelled by CBS.
Battle Creek revolves around two mismatched law enforcement officers — Detective Russ Agnew (Dean Winters) and FBI Special Agent Milton Chamberlain (Josh Duhamel) — who have polar opposite views of the world and end up being partners. The rest of the cast includes Janet McTeer, Kal Penn, Aubrey Dollar, and Edward Fordham Jr.
The show debuted on March 1st to a disappointing 1.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.92 million viewers. The numbers got even worse in later weeks and has fallen to lows of a 0.7 demo rating and fewer than six million viewers.
Those numbers aren’t good enough for CBS to order a second season so they’ve now cancelled it.
There are four unaired episodes remaining and the last installment is currently scheduled to air on May 24th.
What do you think? Do you like the Battle Creek TV show? Do you think that it should have been cancelled or renewed for season two?
Love it. Just finished it on Netflix. Sad that it was cancled.
I hate that this show will not continue, I enjoy the dynamics between the characters and the characters themselves are mostly really good. Sorry to hear that it will not be renewed!

A shame, but typical. I just got to see the series for the first time today, and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, my vote doesn’t count anymore since I am no longer a television subscriber (cable/satellite). I do subscribe to several broadband services and would love to see one of them pick this up; I know that I would watch.
I am seeing this on Netflix and I love it sad it’s not coming back
I just watched the series on Netflix and loved the show. Disappointed there is not a second season to follow and hope someone else will pick the series up.
Great great show. Hope for season 2
I just saw it on Netflix and loved Battle Creek. But Sunday night is a bad night as so mny people have to get their families ready to start their week. A different night would have probably made the show sucessful. Should try to rerun season 1 on a different night.
I am. Cop series junkie, and really only watch Netflix. I never heard of this show, and I am TOTALLY BUMMED it got canceled! You don’t always find shows that carry cop drama, dry humor, and story line that all mesh well. It isn’t a comedy, just comic enough at just the right times. wanted more Russ and Holly!
I loooove this show! Dean Winters is so funny! Netflix – please pick this up!!
Loved this show! Super disappointed it was cancelled.
I love this show,perhaps there was too many other shows on when this aired – to compete with. Finally caught entire season on Netflix. Looks to have high ratings. Hope there is a season 2
Maybe Netflix will pick it up! I love it!
Sad, I thought it was a good series was lookin for a second season Hopefully Netflix will pick it up !!!
I loved this show
